RE: [Chrysler300] 1962 Fuel Tank - Ground?

["nick@xxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can test out your gauge by grounding that gap with a piece wire.

Yea...Looks like a familiar part; just didn't recall it & didn't see it in the parts book (though I think it is 14-72-5).

Funny that this part description refers to the A, B & E Bodies; but not the C Body.

The main grounding is supplied by a metal strap that clips on the fuel pickup tube and the fuel line from the body. It basically bridges the gap where the rubber hose connects the two.

Aside from the pair of straps that secure the tank to the underside of the car....

Is there any other type of grounding?

 

Dropped tank.

Cleaned out.

Replaced sending unit / pick up tube.

Added 4 gallons.

No fuel gauge movement.

 

Maybe I need to add more fuel.

Maybe I need to reconfirm, underneath, the sending unit wire is fully engaged onto the sending unit stud.

Just wondered if there was further grounding; but don't think so.

 

Thanks

Matt Allyn
